Always Stop At the Lemonade Stand (Part One)...
It's official! Today, was "opening day" for Lemonade Stand Season! As I drove through the busy streets just outside the city, there it was, on the corner with a big sign, a stack of solo cups and an empty pitcher. A young boy sat waiting as his older sisters came out of the house with the replacement pitcher of fresh, cold, l-e-m-o-n-a-d-e! As I was approaching the stand, the young boy spotted me out of the corner of his eye. I saw him pump his fist and say "Yes!" under his breath! He sat up straight and waited, ready to assist as I approached. The sign on the front said "Fresh cup of ice cold lemonade." It had a price of $0.50 next to it but that was crossed out with an X. Underneath it was $1.00. Apparently, they were very confident in their product, raising the price on the spot! I must admit, they were very professional, and prompt. Everyone was friendly and it was absolutely apparent that they loved their jobs! I walked away with a big smile on my face, a fresh cup of ice cold lemonade and a reminder that in one corner of our world, happiness and hope are alive and well...
